作为多亚基环复合物的一部分,γ-微管蛋白在体外和体内都能促进微管成核,该复合物的结构特性表明,它还能以锥形帽密封聚合物的负端。然而,缺乏γ-微管蛋白的细胞仍然显示出许多参与有丝分裂纺锤体组装的微管,这表明γ-微管蛋白并不是体内微管成核所必需的。并对负端帽的功能提出了疑问。在这里,我们利用γ-微管蛋白缺失的秀丽隐杆线虫胚胎的三维重建来评估γ-微管蛋白在中心体微管组织中的作用。我们发现微管负端旋盖和PCM成分SPD-5对于微管在中心体中的正确放置都是必不可少的。我们的研究结果进一步表明,γ-微管蛋白和SPD-5限制了中心体核心内的微管聚合,我们提出了一个中心体异常微管组织如何间接影响中心粒结构和子中心粒复制的模型。
As part of a multi-subunit ring complex, γ-tubulin has been shown to promote microtubule nucleation both in vitro and in vivo, and the structural properties of the complex suggest that it also seals the minus ends of the polymers with a conical cap. Cells depleted of γ-tubulin, however, still display many microtubules that participate in mitotic spindle assembly, suggesting that γ-tubulin is not absolutely required for microtubule nucleation in vivo, and raising questions about the function of the minus end cap. Here, we assessed the role of γ-tubulin in centrosomal microtubule organisation using three-dimensional reconstructions of γ-tubulin-depleted C. elegans embryos. We found that microtubule minus-end capping and the PCM component SPD-5 are both essential for the proper placement of microtubules in the centrosome. Our results further suggest that γ-tubulin and SPD-5 limit microtubule polymerization within the centrosome core, and we propose a model for how abnormal microtubule organization at the centrosome could indirectly affect centriole structure and daughter centriole replication.
